Abstract (en)
It is known that mass elements secured to a selector can exacerbate vibration problems but that such mass elements are desirable in order to facilitate smooth displacement of the selector for selection of various operational functions of a mechanism. In the present invention, mass assemblies 14, 15 are provided such that vibrations from a mechanism are de-coupled from the assemblies 14, 15 through respective damper couplings 45. Thus, the mass of the assemblies 14, 15 is utilised in order to provide inertia to facilitate selector 11 displacement for selection of various operational function of a mechanism whilst the transient vibrations from that mechanism and other sources is de-coupled from the respective mass of the assemblies 14, 15. <IMAGE>
